THE MAROON DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF LOYOLA UNIVERSITY VOL 1 NEW ORLEANS, LA., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1924 No. 6 LOYOLA'S LATEST STRUCTURE TO BE MOST MODERN OF ITS KIND Ample Opportunity to Be Afforded Every Student of Chemistry; When the sturdy foundations for the large Chemistry building were being laid some seven months ago amidst such untoward circumstances as the weather provided, the one big thought that prevailed in the minds of all passersby was "What are they going to do with such a tremendous structure?" To this day as the structure rises and its monstrous proportions hecome more and more striking, the old enigma still remains unsolved in the minds of many. To those familiar with the rapid growth of Loyola within the last twelve years of its existence, and the giant strides she must perforce take to measure up to the standard set up by those in charge, the solution of this riddle is comparatively easy. It lies in the fact that both the students and the teachers of Chemistry must have larger and more up-to-date quarters to carry on their work successfully. Student Body Increases. Twelve years ago when Loyola university was first chartered and recognized by the State of Louisiana, and empowered to grant University Degrees, she housed within her venerable walls no greater student body than an ordinary private school. In those days of frightful struggle for existence, the small, cramped quarters still occupied by the Chemistry Department, in Marquette hall, were adequately sufficient to accommodate her student chemists. Bui her students of Chemistry at that time were few indeed, numbering at most some twenty industrious lads who seemed rather dubious as to the possibility of specializing in this most important branch of science. Since those days of darkness and trials, however, Loyola's student body has kept pace with the singular growth so characteristic of her in other respects. New courses have, in the passing of time, made their appearance in her curriculum, and for each and everyone, students have not been lacking to take advantage of the special attractions offered by the university. Today, there fore, after a brief span of twelve years, she numbers more than two hundred students in this, and kindred branches of science, Coursei Admirably Adapted. Far different are these days from the olden times. Formerly, when a student knocked at the threshold of Loyola seeking knowledge in the broad field of Chemistry, the only wares she could display was a general training in inorganic and Organic Chemistry. Today without offering any apology, she can welcome to herself any student who conies to her in quest of chemical knowledge. Future doctors, pharmacists, chemical engineers, boys who tomorrow will Step into the professional ranks to fill the vacanies created by the gradual dropping off of the great benefactors of human society, find here every opportunity to equip themselves in their respective lines and make themselves worthy successors of those whose place they are to take. For this Loyola and her student body have her worthy presidents to thank. Their foresight in this respect was truly a stroke of genius. Though not pretending to he chemists themselves, in fact, concentrating their energies and devoting their attention to subjects widely divergent from chemistry, they nevertheless realize that the future of Loyola and of her students depends, in a greater measure than some are inclined to think, on the future of her Chemistry department. Working on this well-founded belief, Father Kenny, Regent of the Law School, some five years ago solicited subscriptions for a Chemistry Fund, which he turned LAW DEBATING SOCIETY FORMS CONSTITUTION Document Signed By Presidents of All Law Classes. The Law Debating Society of the Loyola Law School has formed a charter composed of a preamble and citjht articles.

MISS C. GUENARD CONDUCTS CLASSES IN SOCIOLOGY Lectures Are on Many Questions of Note. The new Sociology Course opened in the Extension department on January 10, should be of great interest not only to friends of Loyola, but to the people of New Orleans in general. In 1919 when for the first time in the history of Jesuit education. Loyola university opened its doors to women the department of Sociology was the first night course to be established. In its classes were enrolled representative members of St. Margaret's Daughters. The Catholic Social Organization of the City, Social Workers of other recognized agencies and from its ranks the major part of the Normal Faculty of the first Summer School was drawn. In the ensuing five years the attendance has been large. The course has proved of inestimable value and benefit to those who have enjoyed the privilege of being under the expert guidance of the well known Sociologist and Jesuit, Rev. M. Kenny. S.J. The course is now conducted by Miss Camille Guenard of this city. She is a graduate of the Cincinnati School of Social Service, and for one year was in charge of a bureau of the Cincinnati Community Chest System. Her training and experience render Miss Guenard especially valuable to Loyola and to New Orleans. Her lectures cover the practical application of Sociology, case work. etc.. and include the following subjects of special note, Principle of Relief. Agencies of Relief. Methods of Relief. Child Welfare. Rig Brother and Big Sister Organizations, and Americanization.Father Kenny continues his lectures on the principles of Sociology on Tuesdays at 7:15 R. M.. while Miss Guenard lectures on Thursdays at 7:1? I'. M. College Credit is attainable in both classes. A knowledge of Sociology and Social Work from a Catholic viewpoint is an invaluable aid to those wishing to enter this field. The rapidly growing favor of the Community Chest System and similar Social Service movements in many cities augurs necessity for trained social workers. Miss Guenard is deeply interested in her work, and her enthusiasm is inspiring. The class is intensely absorbing and one appreciates after only one lecture, the vast importance of intelligent organized Social Service. TRUTH SECTION OF SODALITY ESTABLISHES SYSTEM Distribution of Magazines and Periodicals Near Perfection. The Truth Section of the Sodality of Loyola university, has established two ways in which it can accomplish its purpose, viz: the spreading of good literature. A hook rack has been placed in the Church of the Hole Name and a committee of five have been appointed to distribute the literature amongst the different institutions of the city. The magazines and periodicals which are to compose the form of literature distributed are to he supplied by the students of Loyola. Catholic publications or magazines will be gladly accepted. These magazines are taken to the Parish Prison, the House of Detention, the Shakespeare Home and other like institutions, where good literature will be appreciated. LOYOLA DENTAL JOURNAL TO APPEAR SOON Second Number of Year to Contain Many Excellent Articles. The Loyola Dental Journal published by the Delta Omega Chapter of the I'si Omega Fraternity at Loyola will publish its February number in the near future. The issue contains many tine articles that are of interest to the students of that department as well as to the Dental practitioner. Two of the features of this number are the Bureau of Questions and Answers and the Straight Dope column. The former is in charge of a competent editor who is capable of supplying information regarding questions of dentistry. The latter is a column devoted to the happenings that occur around the college and in the clinic. The special articles cover many interesting Dental questions, such as Hygiene and Porcelain Crowns. The article in reference to Hygiene is entitled: "Oral Hygiene Amongst School Children." Its author is J. G. Juracovich, a Loyola Dental student. It stresses the need of Hygienic improvement and agitates a move for the establishment of more clinics. An article entitled, "Porcelain Jacket Crowns" gives a further insight into the nature of this particular kind of crowns. Tinarticle' is written by a well known Dental authority and is taken from "Dental Items of Interest," a monthly periodical devoted to the science of dentistry throughout the country. The Question and Answer Bureau has many excellent questions which are answered in a very competent manner. The Straight Dope column gives amusing happenings around the college, and in the Dental department. There is also another new column entitled. "The Social Column," which is a very attractive addition. There are three editorials, "The Worth While Student," Keep the Patient Well Informed." and "Our Advertisers." The first gives the nature of the so-called Worth While Student, and the demand for such students amongst representative organizations and fraternities. The second shows die good policy with which a professional man acts when he keeps his patients informed of the nature of his condition. The third is an editorial •expressing thanks to the firms who advertise in the Dental Journal. This is the last number that the present staff will publish. The new staff will have charge of the two ensuing issues and it is hoped that they will follow in the footsteps of their predecessors and keep the Dental Journal on the level to which it has attained.PHILOSOPHY CIRCLES RESUMED AT LOYOLA The Senior Philosophy Class was paid a nice compliment this year when it was announced by the professor that the cutom of holding circles, that had been dropped some years ago because of the lack of talent in the classes would be resumed. A circle in Philosophy is a formal discussion on some thesis pertaining to the matter being seen by the class. One of the students is appointed to defend and explain the thesis and one or two others to act as objectors and to bring all the difficulties that might be thought of, AMERICAN RAILWAY ASS'N ANNOUNCES CONTEST Prizes for the Best Poster Design and the Most Suitable Slogan For Its 1924 Campaign Are Offered.
